## Summary

NHS National Services Scotland has completed a procurement process for the provision of Hepatitis C Medicines through a framework agreement aimed at supporting NHS Scotland. This procurement, categorised under the healthcare sector, is located in Edinburgh, UK, and was initiated as a limited tender due to the heightened demand arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. The procurement method involved an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, and it was signed on 7th February 2022. The total estimated value of the awarded contracts amounts to £3.5 million and £4 million for the treatment cost per medicine and treatment spend cap, respectively.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the pharmaceutical sector, particularly for those specialising in the supply of medicines and healthcare products. Companies that are well-suited to compete include both large-scale suppliers, as exemplified by AbbVie Ltd, Gilead Sciences Ltd, and Merck Sharp & Dohme UK Ltd, which have already been awarded contracts under this framework. As NHS Scotland continues to address the healthcare needs of its population, further involvement in such procurements could contribute positively to business growth and sustainability in the health sector.
